Temperatures hovered at 0c when the girls ventured out this week . Fingers required defrosting before they even left market cross. The weak sunshine was lovely to see but not strong enough to provide any warmth . Plans were made and off they headed for a fast but flat run towards the coast . At […]
ContinueLadies of the Knight’s and Matthew out on a Friday Afternoon
It all started full of promise, the wind had died down, the sun was shining and yes although it was chilly they were all happy to at last to be out on a Friday run. Sharrin and Heather met up with Matthew and off they went, heading via Bracken, to Cranswick. As they got closer to […]

Ray asked me to share this article on cycling safety with you, it turns out Pat and Chris Boardman have something in common.
ContinueHornsea July 2014
Following on from our summer solstice ride I thought I would write a quick post about our latest ride out to Hornsea. As you can see from the pictures (all 12 of them) there weren’t as many out on this ride as there was on the summer solstice one. We asked a local council worker […]
ContinueSummer Solstice 2014
What better way is there to celebrate the Summer Solstice than to go for an extra long cycle ride? Beats dancing naked around Stonehenge anyway… Oh, and throw in a hearty meal at Walkington’s finest hostelry – The Dog and Duck – for our return. Nineteen Knights in all partook in the fast (in places) […]
ContinueNew Kit – Allerthorpe Ride, June 2014
The Knights took to the roads on a fine June Sunday for a flat(ish) 50 mile ride to Allerthorpe. It was a true test of cycling commitment that so many turned out the morning after a fellow Knight’s big birthday bash. (We won’t mention your age, Mike, but surely 60 is the new 50…) This ride marked a significant moment in Knight’s history – the christening of the snazzy new kit. A major flaw in the new kit’s design soon became apparent when a spectating child mistook us for a Tour de France team out practising for the big event. Erm, we certainly look good, but perhaps a little too good for our ability. Anyway check out the pictures below:
ContinueDerbyshire Day 2014
Beverley Knights’ third annual Derbyshire hill-climbing adventure was, once again, painful, exhilarating and…well…hilly! This year the motivation came from Le Tour de France, which is passing through the region to attempt the climbs of Holme Moss (on The Tour route) and then Snake Pass (not on The Tour route.) Much of our ride coincided with […]
ContinueHutton Cranswick Cafe – Ride 2 of 2014
This was the second ride of 2014 to Hutton Cranswick Cafe and it started off wet, which was probably the reason why there were only 4 brave knights out. It soon cleared up on the way and we put a few extra loops in to add extra miles onto the ride (mistakenly).
ContinueCranswick Fingers does it again
Here are some images of today’s ride out to Hutton Cranswick. It started off fresh, got a little warmer in the middle and finished with some of us getting pelted by v. heavy hailstone. All in all a good ride out (and a decent bacon butty). [Show slideshow]
